## Plot

Thapki stutters, which prevents her from receiving marriage proposals. She becomes engaged to Diwakar, who abandons her on her wedding day. Thapki works at a TV station owned by Dhruv Pandey, who falls in love with her. Dhruv's mother, Vasundhara, disapproves of Thapki and orders her adopted son Bihaan to marry Thapki. Bihaan reluctantly agrees.
Bihaan arrives for the wedding, knocks Dhruv unconscious, wears his brother's sherwani and covers his face with a sehra. His elder brothers come for Dhruv and take Bihaan instead; Bihaan marries Thapki, who decides to divorce him. Vasundhra meets Shraddha, who misleads the Pandeys. Bihaan and Thapki see through her but despite their efforts to warn Vasundhara, Dhruv and Shraddha marry. Dhruv still loves Thapki, and Shraddha is jealous. After Thapki saves Vasundhara from a falling deity, Vasundhara's attitude toward her changes. Thapki and Bihaan fall in love.
Dhruv despises Vasundhra for preventing his marriage to Thapki. His father announces Thapki and Bihaan's remarriage, and Dhruv reveals what happened on his wedding day. On Thapki and Bihaan's wedding day, Ddhruv hits Bihaan and takes his place. Bihaan comes to, and stops the marriage. Dhruv kidnaps and tries to marry Thapki, but Bihaan saves her.
Bihaan's biological mother Kosi and step-father Naman want a kidney from Bihaan for their son Janardhan, but Bihaan was born with only one kidney. Kosi accuses Thapki of trying to kill her; Bihaan believes her, and cuts ties with Thapki. Thapki tells Bihaan by letter that she is pregnant; the letter is found by Sankar, Kosi's maid, who loves Bihaan. Thapki has an accident and loses the baby.
She returns two years later as Vaani Oberoi with Kabir Katyal, who wants revenge on Bihaan for torching the house of his sister Neha. Dhruv returns; he found Thapki after her accident. They expose Kosi, who leaves after threatening Thapki. Thapki and Kabir believe that Bihaan is innocent. Thapki, Vasundhara, and Neha expose Sankar as the arsonist. Sankar reveals that she caused Thapki's accident two years earlier and escapes.
Dhruv divorces Shraddha and marries Aditi. Shraddha seduces him and becomes pregnant. Aditi (also pregnant with Dhruv's child) is heartbroken, but Dhruv proves his innocence. Thapki and Bihaan reconcile, and Thapki becomes pregnant. Sankar and Kosi return in disguise, seeking revenge. Sankar fakes her death, and Bihaan is arrested for her murder. She blackmails Thapki, saying that Bihaan will be saved only if she leaves him. Thapki gives birth to twin daughters Bani and Tina, but tells Bihaan and his family that the girls are Kabir's.
Sankar tries to kill Tina, whom Bihaan (unaware that she is his daughter) saves and adopts. Tina is presumed dead. Thapki leaves with Kabir and Bani. Shraddha tells Sankar that she knows about the blackmail. Aditi finds out, and tells Bihaan. They reach Thapki, but Shraddha runs them down.
Aditi has a son and Shraddha has a daughter. Shraddha switched the babies because she wanted a son. After the accident, Aditi is found dead. Dhruv blames Thapki while Bihaan has amnesia. Shraddha and Sankar mistreat Tina. Thapki, a crime reporter, lives with Bani in Agra. Shraddha and Sankar plot to separate Bihaan and Tina. Shraddha sends Tina to the Agra boarding school Bani attends, and the girls become friends. Thapki meets Bihaan at the school; he does not recognize her, but she helps him regain his memory. He, Thapki, Bani, and Tina expose Sankar, who is arrested. Shraddha escapes.Gangster Amma Mai kidnaps Bani to marry her son, Prince, and Shraddha disguises herself as Thapki to set up the marriage. Bihaan and Thapki try to save Bani. Amma Mai shoots Bihaan, who falls from a cliff to his death. She is arrested, but Bani blames Thapki for Bihaan's death. Kosi takes Bani in, and Shraddha kidnaps Thapki.
Tina is engaged to Samar Kapoor and Bani and Kosi want revenge on Thapki. Thapki asks Aryan (the elder brother of Bani's fiance Manav Khanna) to stand in for Bihaan. On the wedding day, Kosi wreaks havoc. Tina marries Manav and Bani marries Samar.
Bani apologizes to Thapki and Kosi is arrested. Thapki and Bani are kidnapped by Lovely, a dancer who impersonates Thapki. Thapki escapes, but Lovely (her long-lost sister Mohini) threatens to kill Bani. Samar rescues Bani. Aryan and Bani resolve everything and Aryan marries Thapki.
